2 Weekly Update Christmas Eve Share the Plate and Challenge Match FPUU's Board has selected Community Outreach Services or COS to receive 50% of this year's Christmas Eve offering. COS was organized in November 1990 by people from local churches in the Kennebunks to enable our local faith communities to reach out to neighbors in need. COS's mission is to extend a helping hand to our neighbors who face challenges with food, fuel or specific needs emergencies. The need in our community is much greater than any of us would like it to be, and COS is a lifeline to many. From offering summer time school lunches to providing a food pantry to ensuring that people can keep their heat on, COS fills a vital need. We have once again received a challenge match for our Christmas Eve share the plate. A donor has committed $1,000 if the congregation contributes at least that amount to this year's Christmas Eve offering. This means that Your donation to this year's offering has the potential to be doubled. You can help COS help those in need right here in the Kennebunks by contributing to the offering on Christmas Eve. If you will not be in attendance, you can drop off your contribution at FPUU. Please put "Christmas Eve match" in the memo line. Thank you so much for your support of First Parish and our community. Office Will Be Closed Dec. 24 th thru January 1 st Please note the office will be closed the week between Christmas and New Years Day. There will not be a newsletter during this time, so please make sure to get all announcements in the week before by Wednesday, December 19 th at 10 am. Happy Holidays to you all! Please contact Crystal with any questions at Ushers Needed We are still in NEED of Ushers to sign up. If you want information about what is involved, please contact Ted Trainer. Otherwise, please check the signup sheets in the Parish Hall and add your name. Thank you very much. Ted Trainer 2
3 Help us to shape our story with your 2019 Pledge Card! 2019 Pledge Cards have been mailed out. Please make sure you return them to the church as soon as possible. We are hoping to have all the contributions recorded before the holidays, so we can plan the 2019 Budget. Be a part of ensuring that our congregation endures for generations to come. Join me in renewing your commitment to First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Kennebunk, Maine. If you did not get a card let Crystal know and she will gladly send you one. Thinking about being a legal member of First Parish? Rev. Lara is scheduling a New Member Ceremony for 1/27/19. Talk to her about signing the book so you can be part of the ceremony. Expectations of Membership First Parish is committed to offering Members enriching worship services, opportunities for personal faith development and religious education, an open and welcoming environment, caring support and outreach. First Parish asks for the following commitments from its members: Attendance at Worship Services By attending as regularly as possible, a Member will become a familiar face in the FIRST PARISH community network, contributing to their own personal faith development. Service to the Life of the Church The volunteer efforts of members keep FIRST PARISH running, and there are many opportunities to get involved: volunteering in the nursery once a month, helping with RE classes, assisting at the monthly Church clean up, volunteering in the office, helping prepare/serve at coffee hour, or serving on one of the many committees that need creative thinkers. The Membership Committee may be contacted for a list of volunteers needed. Service to the Larger Community First Parish prides itself on working for the greater good of the community. FIRST PARISH puts its faith into action by participating in programs that benefit those outside of our congregation, regardless of faith and beliefs. By taking an active role in programs such as Focus on Hunger, as well as other social justice groups, First Parish is able to make a positive impact on society at different levels. In addition to providing awareness of local, national, and global issues, FIRST PARISH encourages its Members to participate in and bring awareness to programs about which they feel passionate. First Parish recognizes that every individual can make a difference. Financial Contribution As a self-sustaining congregation, First Parish does not receive financial support from the UUA or any other governing body. We depend solely on the financial generosity of our members and friends. Since each family s financial situation is unique, Members and Friends are asked to pledge, as able, a percentage of their adjusted gross income for each full calendar year. This is our fair share level of giving. To us, true stewardship means the responsible maintenance of a self-sustaining community. 3
4 Winter Solstice celebration: travel back 5,000 years On the evening of the Winter Solstice, December 21st, we will present a celebration inspired by the Ancient Celts. Bringing together two sources, we have envisioned a ritual that might have taken place in ancient times. One source is a great temple that stands today in Ireland, which was built before the Pyramids of Egypt, in honor of the return of the sun after the longest night: the archeological site in northeastern Ireland known as Newgrange. The second source is the spiritual tradition handed down from the ages through the Celtic culture. We hope you can be there invite your friends! Admission is free and all are welcome. Please bring a nonperishable food item for local hunger relief and a finger-food item for the sharing and fellowship that completes the evening. 4
5 Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 2018 Colloquy of the Yule Join Rev. Lara and Jay as they host their annual Colloquy of the Yule on Tuesday, December 25 th at 9:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall at FPUU. You may be wondering, "what on earth is a 'Colloquy of the Yule?'" This Christmas breakfast event has become a settled tradition in the Pacitti-Campbell family and centers around discussing the Yule, as the title implies. Age-old questions such as "how long can a Yule log burn," and "how many Yules are you gonna work this week?" are often discussed, while eating breakfast and playing the traditional video of a holiday fireplace (a/k/a "Streaming the Yule Log"). A proper Colloquy involves food; therefore, a light breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, and Jay s chocolate chip cookies will be served (because who doesn t love cookies for breakfast?) ALL ARE WELCOME. While this is a drop-in event, if you already know you can make it, please RSVP to Jay at jpacitti@yahoo.com so that he can have a sense of how much food to prepare. Hot food will be served from 9:30 10:00 a.m., so please arrive in that time window. The gathering will last until everyone is tired of talking about the Yule or 11:00 a.m., whichever comes first. If there is someone willing to volunteer from 9:15 a.m. 9:45 to help set food out as it becomes ready, that would be most appreciated. Please let Jay know if you are available for this light duty. We look forward to another festive Yule discussion! 5
6 Christmas Dinner Al and Vicki Adams will host Christmas dinner on December 25 at their home in Kennebunk for members and friends of First Parish who do not have family or friends close by during the holidays. Planning for about 1 p.m., we ll roast the turkey and ask guests to bring a side dish or dessert.

8 From the Archives A Christmas Hymn Written by Rev. J. A. Swan Sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne This song was written to mark the First Sunday School Christmas Celebration In Kennebunk in 1857 Tis many years ago, this night since sleeping flocks among The shepherds heard the wondrous words announcing angels sung, And in the sky a star appeared with clear and steady ray, Which led the wise men to the place where the new born Saviour lay, We're gathered here this Christmas Eve around the Christmas Tree Where Sabbath bells have called us oft with their sweet melody, But in our joy, we ll not forget that Saviour pure and mild For as we all are children now, so He was once a child, He came to break the bonds of sin to teach a Father's love, To lead the way through trials here to a world of light above, That we might to the world go forth with faith for our defense, And through its hardest strife still bear our childhood's innocence, We thank Thee, Father for the love which lights the path of youth, We thank Thee for the Saviour s words of Hope and Trust and Truth, May we remember Thy commands and choose Thy sacred ways, Our hearts be taught to love Thy will, our lips to speak Thy praise.
